    I'm sure you wouldn't complain if it were an anti-Muslim troll now would you?

    Obviously. Most camel fuckers want us dead. Most Jews do not.

    Apple has 92 percent of the HD music player market. Apple desires a closed system for the iPod.

    Google serves more than 90 percent of searches.

    So why is Microsoft a monopoly while Apple and Google are not?

    Answer: They haven't been sued yet. Not that litigation will determine they are monopolies, since they would hopefully deal with anti-trust complaints more effectively than Microsoft did. But that's about the only difference.

    So are the Micros appparently.

    Seriously though this is not a hat or a shoe or something. It's rather painful to try and change your HR app.

    But then again MS can spread a lot of rolexes to a lot of CIOs who don't give a damn about the pain they will cause to everybody else.
